Beschreibung:
The theme of "e;Extreme Forgiveness"e; is forgiveness, reconciliation and assimilation. WWII German bomber pilot Kurt Fox sank the USS Maddox, an American destroyer, in 1943 killing 210 men and leaving seventy-four survivors. After the war, he earned a medical degree, emigrated to America and practiced family medicine for twenty-nine years in rural Virginia. He then volunteered to provide medical care in two Indian reservations. Fellow practitioners and members of his community accorded him considerable respect. In 1995, fifty-two years after the sinking, Dr. Fox received an unexpected call inviting him to a reunion of Maddox survivors. There, they inducted him into their association as an honorary member. This was extreme forgiveness.
